Fedor Emelianenko, UFC closing in on a deal?

After visiting the blog http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/sports_blog/ and finding this news story, I can't help but get excited. Brock Lesnar vs Fedor Emelianenko would be the greatest UFC fight of all time. Being a big fan of UFC this would be a dream come true.

Unfortunately, after further investigating of this story, I came across http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/mma/07/28/Emelianenko.Octagon/index.html

Don't get your hopes up yet, folks.

I still believe a deal will get done sometime in August. I honestly don't see a deal happening by Friday here.
